I recently decided to search for any other motherboards that fit my budged and came across these four motherboards:

Asus X-99A USB 3.1

MSI X99A Gaming 7

MSI X99A SLI Krait Edition

Asrock Fatal1ty X99X Killer

Each can fit in my budget, but I am having trouble deciding which one is the best. I plan to have a 256gb samsung 950 pro nvme ssd running on my build and I also plan to overclock my 5820k to at least 4.5 ghz via a custom loop. I know for a fact that each motherboard has a 32gbps m.2 slot, but I am not sure if the bios will recognize it. Out of those four, which will be the best for my needs? Thanks

I'd suggest the Asus X99a USB 3.1, because Asus itself has great Quality Control, compared to most.
This review should help you in case you want to look at the motherboard in more depth.

Overall the board is more reliable, is able to achieve higher overclocks with the added OC pins in the socket and has more features than other boards with good customer support and software which is constantly updated.
